eWeek: New Sony notebooks to feature Transmeta, AMD chips

WEBINAR:On-Demand

"Could Intel Corp. be losing its grip on PC vendors as well
as the mobile market?"

"Sources say Sony Corp., which has previously relied solely on
Intel chips to power its PC platforms, will feature processors from
Intel rivals for two new versions of its popular Vaio notebooks
later this year."

"One model will be powered by Transmeta Corp.'s Crusoe processor
while another will come with a chip from Advance Micro Devices
Inc., according to sources...."

"The design win by Transmeta marks another milestone for the
Silicon Valley startup, which first revealed plans for its
low-power, cooler-running chips in January. Since the Crusoe's
unveiling, the company has been in negotiations with a number of
major computer makers about integrating its chip into their product
lines."
